H24Cycling Wins the Team Overall at the Belgium Waffle Ride

The team crushed the team overall competition at the Belgian Waffle Ride by taking 2nd (Boardman), 6th (Bassetti), 12th (Anton), and 25th (Freed) overall out of over 1000 riders.

Great to see Sam on the podium in 2nd place after 131 miles of the @belgianwaffleride

Stay tuned for a complete race report from our study second place finisher, Sam Boardman. The guys absolutely loved the event, but they’re too cracked after 131 miles of pavement and dirt to write a coherent story right away!

I began road racing as an undergraduate after taking a class entitled “The Science of Cycling” as a winter term course at DePauw University. I joined the collegiate cycling team as a freshman, became hooked on cycling, and quickly became a Cat 1 racer on the road and track. I continued to race seriously after moving to northern California for graduate school at UC Davis (Geology). The 2010 season was my first season road racing on a national level at NRC races, riding for the Yahoo! Cycling Team. Immediately after finishing graduate school, I signed my first professional contract and spent the year racing in Europe with Team Raleigh. A few years and many miles later, I made the decision to retire from road racing and start to enjoy more leisurely rides on my mountain bike. In conjunction with this switch, I got married to my wonderful wife, Mandy, and took a more traditional job in the Department of Geology at Sonoma State University. In 2015, I continued to work at Sonoma State while taking over the helm as the owner and manager of Mooney Cycling LLC, the business umbrella that runs the Herbalife p/b Marc Pro – Nature’s Bakery Team, and also launching the Bikelangelo brand of custom stem caps with some friends. You can now find me answering emails from my phone as I continue to enjoy riding around beautiful northern California!
